Chapter 75: An Invitation

“Since Master Chen is ready, would you please lead the way?”

As soon as Sir Jiang Junior gathered himself from the shock, he asked.

“Not yet. Master Chen still needs some time to rest, and he will not receive any guest until he is ready.” A’Xiu announced with a hard face.

“Shoot!” Sir Jiang Junior cursed.

Suddenly, a voice rang inside of their mind.

“Let him pa.s.s.”

“Yes, Master Chen.” A’Xiu and Master Wu bowed toward the valley and replied.

Sir Jiang Junior was taken aback by the voice he heard in his mind. He muttered, “What… what was that? Why is there a voice inside my mind?”

“Calm down. That is Master Chen’s voice transmission using his Immortal Will.” A’Xiu said as she rolled her eyes at the young boy.

She was as frightened as Sir Jiang Junior when she heard Master Chen’s voice in her mind for the first time. However, the fear subsided after she had learned that Master Chen had projected his voice into her mind using Immortal Will.

Based on Master Wu’s explanation, Master Chen’s voice transmission ability was similar to that used by Buddhist called “Mind Connection.”

This ability not only allowed the cultivator to communicate with others, but it also gave insight into the inner thoughts of mortals.

Master Chen was still new to this ability and therefore he could only communicate with others but couldn’t read other people’s mind yet.

“This was the power of Immortal Enlightenment. He would have been revered as a Bodhisattva if he was a Buddhist.” A’Xiu said with a great measure of admiration.

The more she learned about Master Chen, the more insignificant and powerless she felt about herself.

Sir Jiang Junior gathered himself and followed Master Wu and A’Xiu into the valley.

He saw Chen Fan was sitting on the same piece of rock as he was last time they met. However, he could sense that something inside of Chen Fan had changed.

Sir Jiang Junior studied Chen Fan carefully. The boy was sitting cross-legged on a rock, eyes half closed. His skin was pale and iridescent; at some places, it was nearly translucent. He could see the bones white as jade and the gleaming silvery blood that coursed through his body.

Ice Skin, Jade Bone and Silver Blood.

It was as if the boy was a character from a fiction novel.

“This… this is incredible!” Sir Jiang Junior lowered his head to conceal the fear in his eyes.

As he inched closer to Chen Fan, he felt an omniscient presence looming above him, like the dark clouds before a summer storm.

When the three of them finally stood still, they all heard Chen Fan’s voice again.

“What do you want?”

Sir Jiang Junior managed to control his trembling legs and squeezed a smile from his taut face. “Master Chen, my father, wishes to meet you.”

“Your father?” Chen Fan opened his eyes.

“He is a mortal, and I am a cultivator, I don’t think it’s a good idea for me to meet him.”

Hearing Chen Fan’s refusal, A’Xiu and Master Wu were ready to lead the guest out of the valley. Sir Jiang Junior suddenly shouted, “Please, PLEASE! Master Chen, I have traveled this deep into the mountain just to invite you over for a meeting. Please give me a chance.”

“Oh? I thought you had come with a helicopter.” Chen Fan said with a frozen smile.

Although he had turned his thoughts inward during cultivation, his senses were very much alive. He had sensed a helicopter hovering above the mountain moment before the teen showed up.

Sir Jiang Junior was embarra.s.sed by his own lie. His eyes s.h.i.+fted left and right to avoid Master Chen’s gaze.

“Fine, I will go.” Chen Fan stood up and said.

He had been in seclusion for a month and had finally reached the late-stage of the Foundation Establishment level. In addition, he had already made a breakthrough in the Void Mortal Refinement Art and reached the Silver Blood. By then, he had increased his vitality by ten folds, and even a simple wave of the hand could stir up the arcane energy.

After prolonged inactivity, Chen Fan had the urge to go out of the valley and walk around.

Plus, refusing a local magnate’s invitation was never a good idea.
